Comply at all times with the SAMS Member Protection Policy. Click here to view it in PDF format.

Be committed and arrive on time. If unable to play please notify your controller or team captain as soon as possible. Pay the reserve fee if a reserve player cannot be organised.

Play by the rules and accept the referee’s decisions with grace. Spectators must also accept the referee’s decisions and are not permitted to take part in any dispute or discussion between the players and the referee.

Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials and/or other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in any sport.

Be a good sport. Applaud all good play whether it be by your team or the opposition.

Treat all players as you would like to be treated.

Support and encourage your teammates and the Controller as well as all other players. Without them there would be no competition.

Uphold the spirit of masters and play for the “fun of it”. Players are encouraged to avoid over-zealous (aggressive) play.

Avoid the use of derogatory language.

Watch the last match being played and retire to the bar and supper when it is completed as each player deserves gallery support.
